This helps to ensure that our young people receive high quality careers guidance and education transition, allowing them to make informed choices and get the correct support with their next steps into education, training or employment.
Ancora House school careers and transition team, work with our partner agencies to ensure that when our learners leave the school, they continue to receive support and guidance with careers and their futures. We hope that all young people will leave Ancora House School with the skills and knowledge required to support their entry to employment, training, or Further Education.
